This is my place for my thoughts, ideas and ramblings. My money's still driving me mad, but that's another blog.

My savings are adding up

It can be a task saving money. It's hard to do and easy to get discouraged. One thing that I do is make my money inaccessible. I put it in the most obscure, out of the way bank that I can find. Then I'm not too tempted to go and get it out. I have one credit union where I don't even have a debit card. Now admittedly, I only have $250 in that account but it's a start right? Especially since that's my Ebay money. No sales means no savings for that particular account.

The hardest thing for me is to just keep it going. To get to that magical, mythical 3-6 months emergency fund is going to take a while. I do know that slow and steady wins the race but it gets really hard to deprive yourself of things and have the fortitude to slip that money into your savings account.

I know in the end I'll be glad that I stuck to my plan, but I can't wait to get there!

About Me

I started my blog with some of my friends in mind. They would always come to me with their personal finance questions, and I figured there were probably other people just like them. So Sabrina's Money Madness was born. My family did question me as to why I put my name in the title. The answer to that is simple. I love my name! I think Sabrina is a beautiful name if I do say so myself.
